Bows / Re: Rock Maple
« Last post by Doug509 on Today at 02:38:54 pm »
Okay I started shaping the limbs and found a vein of spalting and dead heartwood.   I decided to scrape out the dead wood creating a hollow limb design. I filled the remaining pith with super glue. I think I'm going to be Okay.   I'm going to steam in the curves and hope nothing splits.

Bows / Re: Stress and performance

I don’t recommend this with a selfbow unless you want to make the bow build a long slow build. Now made from different laminators it would be much easier.

I agree, Arvin. I made one maple pyramid from a board using software calculated dimensions and it was a significant nuisance to keep measuring thickness with calipers and slowly sneaking up on the final dimensions while tying to keep everything even and correct. Switching to a multi-lam bow design was much, much more straightforward and I had better control of the important dimensions.

Without giving away details, the channel said that would include “remarkable game harvests, clever inventions, painful medical mishaps and nerve-wracking animal encounters,” as well as one of the longest-running seasons in the show’s history – a factor determined by how long at least two contenders are able to keep going.

Gosh I love that show. I'd really like an opportunity to go on it. Which one of our members was it that went on and won? And for that matter, how many of us have gone on the show?

A couple of bows Josh built 15 years ago, 1 yew and one snaky Osage, still shooting. We got the new one down to bow size and ready to floor tiller, he had quite a good day and stayed with it. I got mine out to 30@15, looking pretty good and should come in about what I am looking for 45/50@26.
